【解析】

這篇短文主要介紹了美國的食物。不同種類的食物代表不同的個人品味。

【1】句意：美國食品意味著漢堡包、熱狗和炸雞。

此處缺少謂語動詞，根據(jù)列舉的食物，結(jié)合首字母提示，可知此處指美國食物意味著漢堡包等等，mean意思是，意味著，主語是不可數(shù)名詞，故填第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故填means。

【2】句意：除了感恩節(jié)火雞，很難找到一種典型的“美國”食物。

“Thanksgiving turkey”部分的修正了“it＇s hard to find a typical ＂American＂ food”的意思；except for 通常引述了一個相反的原因或細(xì)節(jié)，因而部分地修正了句子的主要意思。結(jié)合首字母提示，故填Except。

【3】句意：當(dāng)人們搬到美國，他們帶著他們的烹飪風(fēng)格。

根據(jù)后文“So Americans eat food from many different countries. That’s why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America,such as Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese fried rolls.”可知此處指他們不同的烹飪風(fēng)格，style風(fēng)格，此處指人們各自的風(fēng)格，所以用復(fù)數(shù)，故填styles。

【4】句意：但它們的味道不像原來的食物！

根據(jù)上文可以在美國找到各個民族的食物及此處的轉(zhuǎn)折詞，可知食物嘗起來不像原來的食物，taste嘗，品嘗，don’t后加動詞原形，故填taste。

【5】句意：最常見的美國快餐之一是三明治。

根據(jù)表語是a sandwich，可知此處指美國的快餐，meal餐，飯；one of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故填meals。

【6】句意：但另一些人更喜歡“全天然”的飲食習(xí)慣。

對比上文“One of the most common quick American m____5____ is a sandwich.Some Americans also choose to eat junk food”可知此處指“其他人更喜歡“全天然”的飲食習(xí)慣”，prefer更喜歡，主語是復(fù)數(shù)，所以謂語動詞用原形，故填prefer。

【7】句意：他們拒絕吃任何含有添加劑的食物。

根據(jù)上文“but others p____6____ ＂all natural＂ eating habits.”可知此處指他們拒絕吃含有添加劑的食物，refuse拒絕，結(jié)合句意及首字母提示，故填refuse。

【8】句意：不同的食物顯示出不同的個人品味。

根據(jù)上文“American culture is a good illustration of the saying:You are what you eat.”可知此處指不同的食物代表不同的個人品味，personal個人的，結(jié)合句意及首字母提示，故填personal。
